Waldon Loaders in the back yard for Don Campbell.

Waldon Loaders – We got another 4 inches of snow today so after plowing snow with the John Deere later I played in the backyard on the Waldons. The John Deere is so nice and shiny and comfort inside the nice clean cab and the Waldons are so clunky and crude but most days I enjoy the Waldons more. It takes me back to being 12 years old and having a little homeade tractor of my own with a front plow made from cutting a barrel in half. I used to plow the whole lawn and I had duel wheels and chains on the rear and it was the most fun a young fellow could have before getting involved with girls, ha,ha. That came the following year LOL But I still kept a good balance between my tractor my chicks. (:>)
But the chick I been living with the last 38 years keeps a good balance with me and my outdoor toys, ha,ha. She has been so nice to me never complaining . I got to take a video of her plowing snow but she is scared to try it.
Toy Trains – Christmas time is known for toy trains since the 1930’s . Little boys excitement on Christmas morning and then sudden disappoinment when dad takes it over and thinks it is for him, ha,ha. Toy trains really make me think this Christmas as i build my toy train and think back as a young boy never did in my wildest dreams know someday i would be building a 15 foot long locomotive. Today I worked more on the second set of wheels . Should get it roughed in and start on the third set of parts tomorrow.
Have a great Friday !
